Some wrote simply to process the contradictory bits of news they received; some wrote so that their children, already safe in another country, might one day understand what had happened to their parents; and some wrote to furnish unknown readers in the outside world with evidence against the Nazi regime.Were these diarists resisters, or did the process of writing make the ravages of the Holocaust even more difficult to bear? Drawing on an astonishing array of unpublished and published diaries from all over German-occupied Europe, historian Alexandra Garbarini explores the multiple roles that diary writing played in the lives of these ordinary women and men. A story of hope and hopelessness, Numbered Days offers a powerful examination of the complex interplay of writing and mourning. And in these heartbreaking diaries, we see the first glimpses of a question that would haunt the twentieth century: Can such unimaginable horror be represented at all? 606 $aDiaries$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)$xHistoriography 606 $aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)$xPersonal narratives$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945), in literature 606 $aJews$xDiaries$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$vPersonal narratives$xHistory and criticism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDiaries$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)$xHistoriography. 615 0$aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)$xPersonal narratives$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945), in literature. 615 0$aJews$xDiaries$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a940.53/18072 700 $aGarbarini$b Alexandra$f1973-$01027359 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451373303321 996 $aNumbered days$92442740 997 $aUNINA
